So, I have now been doing the daily grind for 2 weeks or 80hrs and in that time, every time the phone rings at home I instantly think xxxxx xxxxx, Helen speaking. Then I have to pause for a moment and think of what I am actually meant to say. At this moment I can’t even think of what I normally do say, Helen speaking I think, who knows. Even the home phone feels strange in my hand because it is so light compared to the one at work which I spend just a little bit of time on each day.
I am starting to enjoy it though as I get to know the people, the projects and what I have to do.
Georgie and I are off to see Educating Rita tonight at the QUT Gardens Theatre, which should be a very good night indeed, even if the two others we invited had to bail on us…..
